Our purpose is to empower extraordinary young people to grow "From Potential to Achievement” by addressing the systemic educational and other barriers that have historically held back children from marginalized communities. We prepare students to succeed in highly selective independent schools, which in turn provide them with rigorous academic development and access to a vast array of experiences, resources, and networks. We believe these educational opportunities enable our graduates to succeed in their own right, effect positive change, and become leaders in and beyond their communities. THIS IS THE WORK OF SOCIAL JUSTICE CSA’s work centers on the dismantling of systemic barriers caused by the intersections of race, class, immigration status, and other axes of identity. EVERY CHILD HAS THE POTENTIAL TO ACHIEVE CSA firmly believes that every student is capable of extraordinary things, although success may look different for different students. FAMILIES AND COMMUNITIES ARE PARTNERS CSA is but one part of the infrastructure that enables a child to achieve. This support system also includes families, caregivers, friends, community organizations, all of whom CSA views as key partners. INNOVATION IS ESSENTIAL The systemic challenges that CSA seeks to address are profound, and the context in which the school operates is a dynamic one.
